Taming of my monkey mind.

Taming My Monkey

Please let me introduce you, to my dearest darling friend.
A life long companion a relationship without end.

A nervous jumpy monkey, but not the furry kind.
This nervous jumpy monkey is my nervous jumpy mind.

Untamed tis prone to wander swinging through the trees.
Many, many branches of subjects ill-at ease.

It’s energy seems boundless, it’s hunger is immense.
The trees of thought are many, their branches very dense.

Frantically it searches throughout the vast divide.
A furtive mental forest exclusive to inside.

His treasured finds are many their value yet untold.
For searching is his prime concern with disregard for gold.

And so I gave it silence a stilling of the pond.
Not so very easy yet in time he did respond.

So now the trees are fewer their branches to enjoy.
With subjects so much clearer and treasures to employ.

We made a firm agreement to live each day this way.
With strength we shall continue and there we hope to stay.
